Compagno Cripples Bach
Level 22
Stud-8:
We missed the preliminary betting but caught up on a hand involving David Bach and Paolo Compagno.
Bach: (X)(X) - - (X)
Compagno: (X)(X) - - (X)
Compagno fired bets of 24,000 on fifth and sixth streets and Bach called both times. On seventh street, Compagno bet 24,000 more and Bach looked him up, showing down the for two pair, nines and threes. Bach was beaten, however, by Compagno's in the hole, which made a full house.
This hand crippled David Bach and left him with only 25,000 chips to attempt a comeback. Compagno built his stack to 330,000 with the victory.
